Letter from Charles Ora Card, 23 October 1893
[close sideways text] Cardston N. W. T. Canada 23rd Oct. 1893 Prest. Wilford Woodruff Salt Lake City Utah U.SA. Dear Brother Since I joined the [explation] of the Newton Brothers, I feel it necessary to explain another matter which I feel I should do in justice to Bp. Woolf and myself: That is, in relation to our sabbath School missionary Brother Heber S. Allen who I have learned you have released in consequence of his circumstances consisting of indebted- ness, and being unable to find a suitable person to look after his business. I will next explain, When we received your circular last Sum- mer (June) I called the Bishop his counselors and the Sabbath School Superintendency to gather on this important question. While we were not requested particularly to send one of our number to be taught in the normal class the privilege was extended to us so to do; Being desirous to keep face in sunday school matters we felt we could & were able & would embrace the privilege.
